Two crows with a packet of cigarettes in the Maldives

It was a fourth victory on the trot for the Smoking Crows of the Maldives last week , as they came out clear winners against the arachnophobe-baiting nightmare cocktail of Cambodia, which involves adding a fresh tarantula to the mix. Aaargh.

That means that one more victory this week will see them retire undefeated, fluttering and puffing their way into the Hall Of Fame.

The cigarette-loving birds were spotted in the Maldives by British tourists Tony and Judie Ellis, from the aptly-named Crowborough in Sussex. The couple were amazed to see one crow landing on the roof of a water villa next to theirs, and then calmly extracting the cigarettes from the packet. By the time Julie had got her camera, two more crows had arrived and had also picked up cigarettes.

The farmer tries to chase away the photographers, as the model looks on. he is very angry about the naked lady.

This week’s contender hoping to knock the smoking crows off their perch – and deny them that five-time victory and undefeated retirement – is an angry farmer from China who is somewhat disgruntled by a group of art students taking pictures of a nude model on his land .

After berating the students – and the group of tourists who had gathered to look – farmer Hu Wen hit the students with a stick until they ran away from his farm in a local beauty spot Zhengzhou, eastern China. He then gave the naked model a stern lecture on morality and helped her back into her clothes.

‘I’m not having those kind of perverts on my land and those students should be painting or drawing, not taking obscene photographs,’ he commented.

Which is the weirder of the two pictures? You get to decide which one will go forward into next week’s round to face a new challenger – until we find a reigning champion of weird pictures.
